Benefits of technology

This patent is about a piezoelectric device, which includes a piezoelectric vibrating piece and a base portion. The piezoelectric vibrating piece has a piezoelectric piece with two main surfaces, and a pair of excitation electrodes and a pair of extraction electrodes. The extraction electrodes extend from the excitation electrodes to one short side of the piezoelectric vibrating piece. The base portion has a pair of connecting electrodes and a pair of mounting terminals that connect to the extraction electrodes. The base portion also has four sides, with two pairs of castellations depressed towards the center side of the base portion, and two pairs of side surface electrodes on the castellations. The side surface electrodes connect both the connecting electrodes and the mounting terminals. The technical effect of this design is increased efficiency and reliability of the piezoelectric device, resulting in improved performance and durability.

Problems solved by technology

That is, the piezoelectric device disclosed in Patent Literature 1 does not allow separately measuring and adjusting the frequency of one of the plurality of piezoelectric vibrating pieces, which are fabricated on a wafer scale.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]In this description, an AT-cut quartz-crystal vibrating piece as a piezoelectric vibrating piece is employed. The AT-cut quartz-crystal vibrating piece has a principal surface (in the Y-Z plane) that is tilted by 35° 15′ about the Y-axis of crystallographic axes (XYZ) in the direction from the Z-axis to the Y-axis around the X-axis. The new axes tilted with reference to the axis directions of the AT-cut quartz-crystal vibrating piece are denoted as the Y′ axis and the Z′ axis. This disclosure defines the longer side direction of a crystal unit as the X axis direction, the height direction of the crystal unit as the Y′ axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to the X and Y′ axis directions as the Z′ axis direction.

Abstract

A piezoelectric device includes a piezoelectric vibrating piece and a base portion in a square shape. The piezoelectric vibrating piece includes a piezoelectric piece, a pair of excitation electrodes, and a pair of extraction electrodes. The base portion includes a pair of connecting electrodes on a first surface at a side of the piezoelectric vibrating piece and a pair of mounting terminals on a second surface. The base portion has short sides facing one another. The short sides include two pairs of castellations depressed toward a center side of the base portion and two pairs of side surface electrodes on the two pairs of castellations. The two pairs of side surface electrodes connect the first surface and the second surface. One pair of the two pairs of side surface electrodes each connect to the pair of connecting electrodes and the pair of mounting terminals.
